Ummmmm well.... neither of the deadlines are particularly attractive to me, but I would vote for the 7-8pm CT DL because it's the better of the two by a slight margin. The mornings I'll be in class (or on my way to class I should say) but the evenings I'll be gone half the time and would have to post/vote like 3-4 hours pre-DL.

Well, we can't decide until we have everyone on board, but right now it's looking like 9 AM CST (3 PM GMT if my complex mathematical models* are correct).

The question is, will you Europeans be able to contribute at that time? It may very well be during work-hours for you folks, so keep that in mind. The game will not have retractable votes, so being around at the deadline won't be as crucial.

Speaking just for myself, as long as we have the exam time, which is still for some two weeks into the future, I should have time to appear around the DL, as my time is technically not limited by anything (and certainly not in the afternoons).

I have exams next week, but after that Tuesday and Thursday may prove a little problematic for me (assuming it's day, not night, that is ending then). But if the deadline was 8 pm ct, my contribution would stop about eight hours before the deadline every day (well, except weekends).

I know this thread hasn't been up for long yet, but should you start sending some invitations? I guess there should be several people who are interested in a simple game but don't know about this.

The fates are conspiring against me to make me eat my words, it seems.

I'll help you fill a spot if you can't find anyone else. Consider me a reserve?

Yes, I will do it this afternoon... the problem for me is that I haven't really been around much and the people I used to talk to are no longer here, or are here very rarely. Still, I'll see what I can come up with.

Players are also welcome to invite other people if they'd like!

The one you like with "a slight margin" would be something like 3 or 4 AM in our time (four to five players this far of those enrolled would have that middle of the night then) so if that margin really is slight let's make it the other one?

Okay we still need a few players and let's see from wherever they come from...

That's what I figured. Hence why it was a slight margin, if at all. Either one is fine with me. I may just have to vote before I go to bed or whatnot because I'm not a morning person, which shouldn't be that big of a deal anyway.

Let me make sure I understand this: Is the "deadline" we choose the time at which the Day ends and the Night begins? If that's the case, I'd vote for 9 pm Central Time (that is what CT stands for, isn't it?). Sorry. It's my first game. I don't know what I'm doing.

Yes, the Deadline is the time when Day ends and Night begins and in fact, also the time when Night ends and Day begins.

Hate to ask a silly question, but is the proposed deadline 9am CT or 9pm? Just to ensure that I know when I need to be around.

I think 9am CT is winning at the moment because of these nassty European Downers.

Farael, could you please put a questionmark after my name. Playing this game might not work as I have my calender fully booked for the next two weeks after which I'm leaving to Switzerland where I might not be able to play. But because I'd really love to do some wolf-hunting I won't say "no" yet.

"Oooh!"

The fat, lazy cat (that was neither particularly little nor green) that had been lurking by the edges of the crowd suddenly transformed into an evil stepmother, a tall woman with pinned-up black hair, a fancy dark green dress, a sour face, and, most importantly, bony hands with unnaturally long fingers.

"So. What naughty have you done behind my back?" Her gaze swept the crowd, icy-cold. "Arguing about time zones, are you? Asking silly questions? Tearing character sheets to pieces? Bragging about family lines? Uncivilised, shameful kids. As a punishment, you shall all be locked into... into..." She looked around, desperately trying to find some place where she could lock the naughty kids in, but found nothing suitable. "...into hell when you die", she finished, straightening the hem of her gown.

"I am your stepmother, though I dislike the task even more than I dislike you. My name is Anjelica Primadonna Alexandra Lilia Isabella Serafina Victoria Geri Whatever Whatever. You may call me Stepmother, but if you want a shortening for my name it shall be Lily, or Greenie, after the shade of my dress, see." She pointed at her hem.

"Deadlines. Do they mean the time when naughty kids should be home...?"

--------

Both of the deadlines are a little problematic, but I suppose I can cope with them. the 3 PM GMT would be 5 PM in here, so... Well I have lessons until 4.15 every day I think, so I'll be home around 4.45, so I'll have a good fifteen minutes before the deadline. I'd rather have that than the other, though, because it is indeed 4 AM in here and I'm not very intrigued by that option.

So, either way, I probably won't be around at the deadline every Day. Nevertheless I'd vouch for the 3 PM GMT.

And, out of curiosity, what is a DM? Is it something important?
